![]() Internally, the nearly full-length recoil spring guide rod is not captive, unlike other XD models, and the pistol also has a drop safety to prevent discharge in case of a shock to the gun. As both front and rear sights are dovetailed into the slide, they can be changed without much fuss and customers can be easily sold on aftermarket target or tritium night sights. The extremely low-profile and snag-proof rear sight features two high-visibility white dots and is serrated to prevent glare. The front sight is a bright red fiber optic that is lightning fast to acquire and focus the eye. The long slide allows for an extended sight radius (more than 7 inches) that helps improve sight picture and accuracy. The slide is also Melonite-treated carbon steel and features wide and aggressive serrations with a forward slant at the rear and front of the pistol for easier and faster slide manipulations. The 5-inch barrel is made from hammer-forged carbon steel and Melonite coated for corrosion resistance and longer barrel life. This recoil-operated, striker-fired, polymer-framed, semi-automatic, full-size pistol is chambered in 9mm NATO and features 16+1 capacity. ![]() ![]() The MOD.2 Tactical is the culmination of years of user feedback and innovation. Springfield first introduced the XD (based on the Croatian HS2000 and still made there) in 2002 and has been making improvements and adding options ever since. It's this market the Springfield XD MOD.2 Tactical pistol is intended to appeal to most. While a large part of handgun sales are driven by the ever-expanding interest in concealed carry, plenty of folks are interested in full-size tactical handguns for personal or home protection as well as competition and “contingency planning.” (Photo: Jay Collins)Īs any gun retailer can attest, first-time gun buyers are not necessarily heading straight to the AR and AK rack.Ī large part of what drives sales for all gun shops is handguns. ![]() The Springfield XD MOD.2 Tactical, the latest model of the popular line that began in 2002 based on the Croatian HS2000. ![]()
